iPhone 7 vs iPhone 8 in fact of CPU and GPU

Hi,

I'm just thinking to upgrade my iPhone with a newer one, iPhone 7 or iPhone 8.

I checked the technical specifications and I discovered that yes, iPhone 8 has a more powerful CPU than iPhone 7, but iPhone 7's GPU beats iPhone 8's GPU. Am I correct? Which one should I buy by comparing all the features of the two devices?

iPhone 7 specs

iPhone 8 specs

Thank you so much for your help,

R.

I bet iPhone 7’s graphics are better than the iPhone 8’s.


Apple claims A11 offers a 30% graphics performance improvement over A10.


Comparing core counts, cache sizes, clock frequencies? Not good metrics within the same architecture, much less across disparate designs. Leave those sorts of comparisons to the marketing folks and to the unwary.

8 is better than 7 on every performance level -just assume it..

7 wins over 8 on price and it has an all metal body which is why I bought an iphone 7 in March.


Edit: as already said you will have to go to approved resellers or cellular providers to get those old phones but NOT amazon or similar as you can easily get a seller refurb
